“The landscape you painted silhouetted against the blue of the sky, Positano light and shadow.”Carlo Belli
A vertical landscape that bewitches.
Cobblestone alleys and whitewashed houses climb the hillside defying gravity. Majolica domes catch the sun, Baroque residences hide behind avenues shaded by bougainvillea.
Wander the lanes in search of handmade leather sandals, linen clothes and ceramics, born from the creative genius of Amalfi Coast artisans.
Three ways to see Positano

Three lonely islets, said to be home to singing sirens, once the residence of Massine and Nureyev.
The majolica dome
A tiled cupola glowing above the beach, the emblem of the village since centuries.
Terraced hills
Lemon groves and Mediterranean scrub frame the bay, guarded by the Trasita, Fornillo and Sponda towers.
